Podcaster recalls mortifying moment they projectile vomited over 80s rock star
A podcaster has recalled the mortifying moment they projectile vomited over an 80s rock star.
Oscar Gordon, who produces Australian media personality and Masked Singer judge Abbie Chatfield’s It’s A Lot podcast, said the unfortunate accident happened at a ski resort in Canada while he was high on weed - which is legal to use the country, but he didn’t actually mean to smoke.
The rock star in question was British-Australian John Farnham, who was a teen pop idol in the 70s before joining Melbourne-based rockers Little River Band in 1982. Telling the story, Oscar said: “So I’m 19 years old and it was one of my first trips overseas and I’m going to a ski resort in Canada, called Big White.
“It was New Year’s Eve and I was invited to this party and told a ‘special guest’ was also there. That special guest was John Farnham and his wife, Jill. This is living the high life here in Canada!
“So, I’m like 19 years old. Everything is free, all the alcohol is free. I was like ‘Oh my God, this is the best thing ever! I was at that age where I thought I’m going to have Vodka and Red Bull.”

I had a lot of these Red Bull and Vodkas. There was a group of people there and I thought what was coming round was a cigarette, but it was a joint.
“I’m puffing on this thing and I’m obviously wasted and I could feel my whole wellbeing imploding. It was like, all I had to do is just go to the bathroom. I’m walking towards the toilet – you know that scene in Wolf of Wall Street [on ludes] - then all of a sudden... John Farnham sees me."
“He’s like, ‘Are you alright mate?’ and I was like, ‘I’m not well,’ and so he helps me. I’m 6ft 6 and a half, he’s picked me up, he’s opened the bathroom door and I am projectile vomiting into the toilet.”
Poking fun at the fact he is now bald, Oscar had the studio in fits of giggles as he said: “This happened when I had hair. And John Farnham was holding my hair back!” Unfortunately for Oscar, the toilet door kept swinging open so passers-by could see what was going on – but one girl was more interested in the fact a celebrity was involved and kept shouting: “Oh my God, it’s John Farnham!”
Branding John an “absolute legend”, Oscar said another three men had to help to take him back to the place where he was staying. He added: “I woke up the next morning and I was very embarrassed.”
Asked if he had ever seen John since, Oscar said he saw the singer once but was “too scared” to bring up his projectile vomit moment. Podcast host Abbie asked: “Is that the reason you’re bald now?” before saying: “I’m joking.”
